So it looks lik the json decoder is instructed to skip the inherited common.Config fields. I think the fix looks like this:
diff --git a/server/config.go b/server/config.go
index eea7a20..67a2e6b 100644
--- a/server/config.go
+++ b/server/config.go
@@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ import (
// Config represents the configuration needed to start a Talek server.
// configurations can be generated through util/talekutil
type Config struct {

ReadBatch int
And then usage is like so:

But note that doing this puts the common.Config fields into the server.Config, so it isn't really necessary to have a separate common.Config file. Thoughts? I'm not very familiar with this project so I'm not sure what the intent was.
i think common config was separate because since it's shared / global that file would be put publicly / also provided to clients, while the rest of server config is specific to a given server operator.

This does fix the serialization issue. There is a similar issue with libtalek.ClientConfig - where cli/talekclient needs the common.Config fields, so serializing a ClientConfig to json doesn't produce a usable config. See #95
fixed with #95
For some reason the json serialization of server.Config doesn't include common.Config:
The file written to outfile doesn't contain the Config section key, however:
Not sure why this occurs.
